Automated workflows provide a streamlined, accurate way to route requests. Once a request is created, the intended recipients automatically appear in the designated fields.

When a request is created for an employee in **Department 4200**, **Business Unit PSUNV,** and **Company GBI**, the **Reviewer** will default to **Biv** and the **Approver** to **Iurii**.
